Title
Priority-Based Medium Access Control Protocol for Providing QoS in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
In this letter, we propose PQ-MAC: a priority-based medium access control (MAC) protocol for providing quality of service (QoS) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which minimizes the energy consumption with traffic-based sleep-wakeup scheduling and supports QoS using differentiating channel access policy, packet scheduling, and queue management. The PQ-MAC utilizes the advantages of time division multiple access (TDMA) and slotted carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA). The proposed protocol is an energy-efficient, priority-based, and QoS compatible MAC protocol. It consists of multi-level queue management, sleep-wakeup scheduling, and an ordered contention period (CP) scheme. It also guarantees time-bounded delivery of QoS packets. Performance evaluation is conducted between PQ-MAC and S-MAC with respect to three performance metrics: energy consumption, throughput, and average latency. The simulation results show that the performance of PQ-MAC is better than that of S-MAC.
